Unfortunately, most people associate that word with turkey and pumpkin pie. However, as Christians we know that it is natural response by those who have been saved in Christ. Thanksgiving in the life of a believer is both an attitude and an action. Our attitudes of thanksgiving should always be on our hearts because of Christ. Colossians 2:6–7 Therefore, as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, overflowing with gratitude. (HCSB) Our heart filled with joy will guide us always look on God’s provision for us. This will guard our hearts as we face the trials of life. Thanksgiving also guides us to service. Romans 12:1 Therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship. (HCSB) It is out of what Christ has done for us that we serve him and even if called upon give up our lives. Thanksgiving has to be the ignition for service in our lives. If we do not serve out of thankfulness our service will be more duty than delight. Is thanksgiving the reason you serve God? To Christians, thanksgiving is more than a holiday it is life. Let’s be thankful everyday to our God and serve him!

Praying for Unreached People Groups November 23 rd After 11 Worship Before we travel and go our separate ways ,let us gather around with our church family and Give Thanks to God! Many have said how hard it is to get to know each other with 2 services. This event is design to bring the whole church together for a great meal and fellowship. The Kitchen Team is providing Turkey, Ham, Bread and Drinks. All we ask is you bring a side and a dessert. If for any reason you aren’t able to bring food please don’t hesitate to come. All are welcome! We had a huge turn out last year and looking forward to a great tie of fellowship. If you know a family wanting to meet people from your church family this is a great time to come! A special Thank you to all the classes, committees, and individuals that showed their appreciation to us during Pastor and Staff Appreciation Month. We were all overwhelmed by the gifts of food, money, and treats. We give thanks to God to the wonderful church family that God has gifted us to be part that shows us such love and encouragement. Let us grow in our love of each other as we reach NKY and the Nations together . The Balanta Mane of Guinea-Bissau— About 20,000 Balanta live mainly in north Guinea-Bissau on the West Coast of Africa. They are related to other Balanta peoples and live side-by-side with them, but have been introduced to Islam by the Mandinkas. They have their own Balanta Mane language and do not speak the related Balanta Kentohe language. In the towns they would understand and speak Creole and maybe some Kentohe, but in the villages Balanta Mane is needed. They live a simple and poor lifestyle and raise cattle. Here is a Prayer request from an IMB missionary that works with this people group: “The Balanta Mane of Guinea-Bissau have no one teach them about the ultimate sacrifice, Jesus. For this reason, they continue to do animal sacrifices in hopes of finding peace. They claim to be animist, Muslim and Catholic, but the truth is, the Balanta Mane have become synchronistic cultural Catholics and Muslims. They don’t know Jesus as their Lord and Savior and there is no one sharing the Gospel or having any success among them. Although the king is a very sweet, friendly man, his people are known, in general, by local Guinea-Bissau evangelical Christians as being ‘too hard’ to reach with the Gospel. Our term of service will be up soon, and it saddens me greatly to know that once our visit with him was over, we would probably never see him again in this life or the next. Please pray that the King of kings will be allowed to have His rightful throne in the hearts of the Balanta Mane people. Ask the Lord to send someone to shed light on the Truth to these people.” HBC Harvest Conference Children’s Activities November 1 & 2 st nd While you are being lifted up this weekend, your kids will have a blast at these activities.
